FOUR-DAY VAGATION BENEFITS COOLIDGE President Back in Office for Day’s Engagements After Trip to Virginia. President Coolidge was back at his desk today looking fit and benefited after his four-day holiday, which in-} cluded Thanksgiving, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge and the other members of his party, the| President arrived back in Washington last night at 8 o’clock after an unevent- ful train ride of four hours. They motored directly from the station to th: White House and after about an hour's reading of some of the Sunday papers, the President retired at his customary hour. | He was at his desk before 9 o'clock | today, and after disposing of routine business accumulated during his absen: he entered upon the few engagements he had made for the day, which includ- ed conferences with Secretary of State Kellogg, Senator Gillett of Massachu- setts, Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice chairman of the Republican national committee, and Representatives White of Maine and Newton of Minnesota. At the con- clusion of these business chats he in- | formally received Prince Gustavus | Adolphus. Prince Sigvard, his brother, and other members of the royal party that came to the United States from Sweden to attend the wedding of Count Bernadotte and Estelle Manville in Pleasantville, N. J., Saturday. These visitors were presented by W. Bostrom, the Swedish Minister to the United States, Buys Tuberculosis Seals. Later the President purchased a quantity of seals incident to the Na- tional Tuberculosis Christmas Seal campaign, which is being inaugurated today. Mrs. Coolidge made a similar purchase earlier in the day and at the same time was presented with the ship model used as the design for the Christ- mas seals. The presentation was made by Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing di- rector of the National Tuberculosis As- sociation. The seals were handed to Mrs. Coolidge by Jacquelyn Krah of this city, 5-year-old health crusader. Both of these White House incidents ‘were photographed. In response to the presentation of the ship model, Mrs. Coolidge said to Dr. Emerson that she had always been interested in the health and welfare of children and that she had always tried to be helpful in protecting the health of children. Receives Fraternity Head. ‘The President’s morning schedule also 4ncluded a visit from the board of managers of the National Home for Disabled Veterans. This afternoon he will receive Chancellor Raymond E. Nyre of the Delta Theta Phi Law Fra- ternity. ‘The President said today he felt great after his brief holiday and that he was deeply impressed with the beauty of that section of Virginia where he visit- ed and with the hospitality and friend- liness of the people of that section. He was represented foday as remarking that he and Mrs. Coolidge enjoyed their visit fully and the rest and change did them no end of good. So _far as actual work was concerned, the President’s first day back on the Jjob was not a laborious or trying one. He completed his message to Congress in advance of his trip to Virginia. LR T ECUADOR SHOWERS VARIETY OF GIFTS ON HERBERT HOOVER warship speeded southward today through smooth seas for Callao, where President-elect Hoover will make the second call of his South American good- will tour on Wednesday. Upon arrival at 9 am, Mr. Hoover will be greeted on the Maryland by the Peruvian foreign minister, personally representing President Leguia. He will be welcomed on landing by the mayor of Callao, who will extend to him the freedom of the city. After this cere- mony the President-elect and mem- bers of his party will motor 10 miles to Laim, the Peruvian capital, and go directly to the American embassy, where %;eetlngs will be exchanged with mem- rs of the American colony. A rest will intervene before the party goes to the presidential palace to meet President Leguia. ‘Will Return to Embassy. After the exchange of felicitations and expressions of esteem between the people of the United States and Peru, Mr. Hoover and President Leguia will return to the American embassy for a private luncheon. In midafternoon the American good-will ambassador will receive the mayor of Lima and other municipal officials at embassy and after- ‘ward take an automobile ride. Returning to the embassy, Mr. Hoover will receive members of the American Society of Engineers’ Club and then Test before going to the presidential palace for dinner as guest of the Peru- vian executive. After dinner there will be a reception and dance for Mr. and Mrs. Hoover before they return to the ship at midnight to continue their voy- age southward. Will Receive Bolivians. It is now fairly definite that Mr. Hoover will stop at a Chilean port north of Valparaiso to receive representatives of the Bolivian government, who will Journey from La Paz to greet him. Antofagasta is the port now under consideration for halting of the Mary- Jand so that Mr. Hoover might enter- tain the Bolivians aboard. . Expectations are that the good-will #hip will reach Valparaiso December 10. ‘The President-elect looked back to- day with pleasure and satisfaction on his visit to Guayaquil, Ecuador, where he was honored by President Ayora and other officials of the republic, who are regarded as extremely fricndly to- ward the United States. Both the national and city govern- ments showered Mr. and Mrs. Hoover with gifts, the President-elect receiv- ing among other things a complete library of Ecuador. ‘The foreign minister of Ecuador, Homero Viteri Lafronte, was especially thrilled with the character of the| Hoover visit. He gave his impressions | while Mr. Hoover and President Ayora | were exchanging farewells by embracing | each other in Latin style. New Era Is Hailed. “After this astounding and thrilling occasion,” said Senor Lefronte, “when | Tepublics of the Western world unite in | bonds of friendship I am convinced that Mr. Hoover has done something that is historic and may be transcendental i | world affairs, I believe he has this day | inaugurated & new era, in that he has | set an example which hereafter will make g difficult for nations to quarrel seriously. “In other words, if they do, the peo- ple will say ‘look what Mr. Hoover did. Why cannot you do likewise?” “Popular moral pressure will thus force a solution of the differences by peaceful methods, rather than by brute strength. “I think too that Mr. Hoover is estab- | lishing a new situation through the friendly solidarity of all republics of the Western world.” SQUADRON TO FOLLOW HOOVER. Section of U. S. Fleet to Visit Ports in Peru and Colombia. | By the Associated Press. President-elect Hoover's visit to South America will d-will closely followed by visits to Peruvian and Colombian ports by a large section of the American scouting fleet and con- trol force. The four months’ program of Winter fleet maneuvers announced yesterday by the Navy Department will take the scouting fleet, usually stationed on the Atlantic seaboard, through the Panama Canal for joint maneuvers with the battle fleet in the Pacific, and for a two weeks' visit, February 28 to March 18, at Callao, the port of Lima, capital of Peru. Three divisions, or 16 submarines, of the control force, after sharing in the general maneuvers, are scheduled to visit Cartagena, in Colombia, April 9 and 10, returning to New London via Jamaica and Guantanamo, Cuba. ‘The aircraft squadrons of the scout- ing fleet, which are to be augmented by Navy torpedo planes, also will visit Latin American cities en route from Hampton Roads to join the fieet in the Canal Zone. Leaving Charleston Jan- uary 7 and Key West January 12, they will stop at Cozumel Island on the East Coast of Yucatan the 14th; at Trujilla, Honduras, the 16th, and Tungwarra Bay the 17th of the month. Seventy vessels of the scouting fleet will assemble at Hampton Roads the first week in January, joining the sec- ond battleship division, the third light cruiser division, six destroyer divisons, 16 submarines of the control force and the aircraft squadron from Boston and Hampton Roads in the Canal Zone before going through the canal Jan- uary 17-21. The maneuvers will con- clude with gunnery practice at Guan- tanamo, Cuba, during April and a visit to New York in May. HOOVER AIMS SEEN AS “DISCONCERTING” “Good-Will” Tour in Latin America May Cause Break With Europe, Madrid Paper Fears, By the Assoclated Press. MADRID, December 3.—La Liberated, a Liberal newspaper, commenting upon the good-will tour of Latin America of President-elect Hoover, expresses fear that Uncle Sam is to abandon the World for the New. “The direction of the foreign policy of the United States is both contra- dictory and disconcerting,” says its edi- torial. “Having discovered that Mr. Hoo- ver's aims principal concern the American continent, we can only as- sume that we are practically faced with an open break with Europe carrying with it a policy of separation to the very extreme and with most serious conse~ quences. “The United States has prepared a tremendous offensive against Europe and wants to defeat and displace it in Asia and Latin America. This alone is the truth. “Wall Street is ever bountiful; the gold runs in torrents from Alaska to the Rio Grande. The enormous wealth of that people is felt capable of con- quering the world. Nobody can curb the enslaver of the world.” — LIEUT. GEORGE M. MAYERS, U. S. NAVY, RETIRED, DIES Lieut. George Marshall Mayers, Med- fcal Corps, U. S. N, retired, who accompanied President Roosevelt on his cruise around the world, died suddenly yesterday while walking on G street near Fourteenth street.

ATHENS, Greece, December 3 (#).— Police here have arrested a man travel- ing with an American passport who ca?]s himself Don Luis de Bourbon, brother of the King of Spain, but who is really a Greek, Constantine Glykys, who has lived in America. ‘The man, who also claims to be a representative of various American banks interested in Greek loans, had in his possession autographs and photo- graphs of various royal personages.

One night she wanted to go to a theater. } She made inquiries and found that it | would take so long to unravel red tape and secure permission to leave her| patient that the performance would be | over. So she went to the King and asked for the night off. His majesty laughed and told her to go. In every way possible, she said, he was consid- erate of those attending him. Miss Tremaine proudly wears a dia- mond brooch, the gift of his majesty. The King bestowed on her the Medal of the Victorian Order, the Order of| the Red Cross and other decorations. Miss Tremaine has many stories of her experience in the royal household. She found that in the family circle formalities disappeared.

Queen Cancels Outing. (Continued From First Page.) by the bulletin stating that his condi- tion has improved, if only slightly. It is understood that the King’s physicians’ great desire is that he main- tain his strength, as it seems quite evi- deni from their bulletins that his re- sisting power, especially the strength of his heart, is considered a vital matter. Duke’s Visit Canceled. As indicating the still serious condi- tion of his majesty, however, it was an- nounced this morning that the visit which the Duke and Duchess of York planned to make to Birmingham to- morrow and the duke’s visit to the same city on - Thursday have both been canceled. A picturesque figure in the crowd at gaudily attired in a costume of white and gold. None seemed more anxious to read the bulletin than he, and as his height gave him a distinet advantage he was able to give the news contained in the bulletin to those on the fringe A special force of mounted and foot police had a difficult task dealing with the crowd, but every effort was made to exercise tact and forbearance. The | police insisted, however, that a passage be left near the railings for the sen- tries on duty, and that the hundreds of motor cars constantly arriving should not remain longer than necessary. Several press photographers stood on the tops of taxicabs, and one man worked with his camera on top of a long pole, using a string to open the shutter, Physicians at Bedside. Four eminent physiclans remained near the King's bedside through the greater part of the night, pooling their skill in a fight to strengthen his heart. After long deliberation the doctors isxsu;éi this bulletin shortly after mid- night: “His Majesty the King has had some sleep during the last three hours., A further consultation confirms the opin- ion expressed in the last bulletin, and in spite of the improvement in the lungs, anxiety concerning the strength of the heart persists.” It was signed by Sir Stanley Hewett, Lord Dawson of Penn, both regular physicians to the King; Sir E. Far- quhar Buzzard and Dr. D. E. Whitby. Dr. Whitby is a bacteriologist, who had already been consulted on the case, al- though he had not previously signed any of the official bulletins, and Sir Farquhar is a consulting neurologist to the Hospital for Diseases of the Throat and physiclan extraordinary to the ing. Phoned to the Cabinet. As soon as the bulletin was prepared | it was telephoned to members of the cabinet, who had awaited it in Downing street. The Duke of York, who is the only one of the four sons of the King now in England, went to the palace to be with his mother and sister during the anxlous hours while the physicians were consulting. Soon after the statement was issued, he returned to his house in Picadilly, where he arranged to keep in close touch with the palace. When ‘the King's physicians left the palace at 3:30 a.m. they made no fresh statement about the sovereign's condi- tion. At that hour the whole staff of the palace was in a state of suspense. It was said that as far as indications went there was no reason to expect any very early change. The first public announcement that the King's heart was weakening was made in the usual evening bulletin. This read: “His majesty had a quieter sleep dur- ing the day. The infective process has continued to diminish and tempera- ture tonight is 100. At the same time there is a decline in strength of the heart which causes anxiety.” The indication in both bulletins that there were some improvement in the condition of the infected lung and the fact that the King had a better rest during the evening hours did not relieve the profound concern over his distinetly diminished heart.power. ¥ Throng Outside Palace, Public_concern was manifested by a crowd of unusual size which lingered outside the Palace after midnight awaiting the latest word. When the last announcement was posted, there was a rush toward the bulletin board. Police found it necessary to marshal the crowd into line and march them past the board only allowing each per- son time enough to read the statement. This arrangement proved too slow, however, for the bulk of the crowd. There were shouts of “Read it.” “Read it,” a policeman began to read the ominous words in a loud voice. There was a deep silence indicating the general anxiety. Then the people be- gan to disperse slowly. But all night late comers in automobiles and taxi- cabs stopped and alighted to read the bulletin and drove sorrowfully away filled with disappointment. The physicians who have been regu- larly attending the King for the last 13 days were more frequently and longer in attendance at the palace than on any day since illness set in. This as- siduous attendance by the physicians in the morning, afternoon and evening was an indication to the general public of their increased solicitude. When it was learned that for the first time two additional doctors had been summoned to his majesty’s bedside there was ever- increasing anxiety among the crowd outside the palace gates. No special edi- tions of newspapers were issued to fill the usual Sunday gap and the only means the public had to learn of the King's progress was to watch the bul- letin board or listen to the radio broad- cast. Strength Being Taxed. The first bulletin of the day, issued in the morning, read: “The King had a rather restless night. This morning his temperature is lower and the infective process shows some improvement, His general strength, though at the present adequate, 1s at this stage of the illness being taxed.” After this bulletin had been issued, Queen Mary took her usual constitu- tional drive and the public took this as a favorable sign. The Queen, Princess Mary and the Duke and Duchess of York and others of the royal house-, hold attended services in a private | chapel of the palace during the morn- ing. At the same time prayers were offered in churches throughout Great Britain for the King's recovery. AIR DERBY CALLED OFF. High Winds Prevent Celebration of Mail Service Inauguration. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., December 3 (#).—Overcast skies and high winds yes- terday broke up a celebration in con- nection with the inauguration of air diminishing Red Cross and Chicago, and also caused Leonard S. Flo, Ann Arbor, Mich., aviator, to end his flight from Cuba to Walkerville, Ontario. z An air derby had been planned for the week end, but as a consequence, only one event, a 25-mile race, was run. | A large tri-motored plane, with nine passengers, was forced down in a cab- bage field, and although none was in- jured, the plane was badly wrecked.

By the Associated Press. l LONDON, December 3.—Two sons of | King George, who had been on a hunt- | ing tour in Africa were speeding home- | ward today, to the bedside of their | father, over whose life there is grave | anxdety. | Prince of Wales sailed from Dar- es-Salaam on _the cruiser Enterprise. He is expected to arrive in London | about the 12th or 13th of December. | Throughout the trip he will be in con- | stant touch with Queen Mary and the | royal family by radio. The Duke of | Glucester, who was hunting near the | border of Northern Rhodesia, was mak- | ing a cash for the coast in a special | coach today. He reached Broken Hill | this morning and will continue to Cape- town, where it is understood that he will take a mail steamer for England. Prince to Use Train. | The Prince of Wales will be taken | by the cruiser to Suez, where he will take a train to Alexandria. At half Egyptian port he will embark on an- _mher British warship for some con- tinental European port not yet selected The Daily Mail today printed a dis patch from Dar-es-Salaam saying that the Prince’s departure was “a farewell tinged with sadness, although the Prince had a smile on his face, as he turned | away from the little group with whom he shook hands at the steps of the private pier of the government.” In the little English church on the waterfront the people were at their de- votions. The only sounds to be heard were the strains of a familiar hymn and the calls by the birdsrin the trees. ‘The Prince boarded the cruisr’s launch, waved his hand in farewell and disap- peared in the cabin of the boat. The launch sped toward the cruiser which was lying at anchor two miles off shore and in a little while the standard of the Prince of Wales floated from the foremast. Duke’s Journey Longer. The Duke of Gloucester had a much longer journey before him than his brother.” He was almost equidistant from the east and west coast of Africa when word of the situation at Bucking- ham Palace reached him. Because of the scanty transportation facilities, he chose the longer journey through Cape- town to find a vessel to carry him to England. Prince George, the youngest son of the King, is now stationed at Hamil- ton, Bermuda, with the British train- ing ship Durban. It was not known whether he had been recalled yet, but it was assumed that his father’s condi- tion was likely to result in his return. The Daily Mail further described the departure of the prince: “The baggage of the prince came piled high on a lorry, including kit bags, bedding and other equipment of the expedition in the wilderness. All mem- bers of the royal party wore the garb in which they had lived in the bush country. The prince had a colored handkerchief knotted loosely over the open collar of his shirt. He wore shorts and a khaki helmet. ‘Waves Farewell to Group. “He boarded the launch of the cruiser Enterprise agbthe pier, waved his hand in ' farewell his friends and_disap- peared into the cabin of the launch. Europeans who lined the road along the land-locked harbor watched the reced- ing launch as it sped toward the cruiser lying at anchor two miles off shore, its quarterdeck hidden under awnings. “In a little while the standard of the Prince of Wales was broken out at the foremast, showing that he was aboard. The cruiser raised its anchor and was soon lost on the northern sky line.” IR The, legal practitioners (qualifica- State Dall, provided for making Irish a compulsory subject for legal .education. DELEGATES HERE _FOR CONFERENCE Vanguard of Representatives to Conciliation Meet Arrive From South America. The vanguard of delegates to the forthcoming Pan-American Arbitration and Conciliation Conference December 10, has arrived. Dr. Victor Maurtua, delegate from Peru, accompanied by Senora Maurtua, arrived in Washington Saturday. Dr. Maurtua, considered one of the most noted international lawyers in South America, and who was formerly the Peruvian minister to Cuba, is now am= bassador from his country to Brazil. Dr. and Senora Jose Falla, the for- mer delegate from Guatemala, are now in New York and are expected to ar- rive in Washington shortly.
